"OH, thanks Sue, that would be a huge help." Hugo sighs wistfully. "I'm sure that soon we'll have to get rid of it all together - and just trust him to stay close and not... I don't know, fly off to Pluto on a whim or something." He chuckles, revelling in this quiet moment with a good friend who understands him in a way most of his just can't.
The existence of Sue makes Hugo feel like he actually belongs here, as much as he ever can, living under an assumed name and avoiding attention to prevent comparisons to his more famous counterpart - the Hugo who was born here, in this reality.
He still misses acting, sometimes - but his family and his friends and his very important job ease that most of the time.
He will never stop missing his parents and siblings.
